Class 1 all-state girls soccer team & rankings

One of the things that makes soccer unique among sports is how sometimes a loss can elevate your teams profile more than a win.  The Catholic Lady Irish ended their season with a loss to St. Dominic.  Losing 2-0 but controlling the game most of the way.  That resulted in the team actually rising a spot to number 6 in the final season rankings, two first team all-state selections, and another second team pick.  Seniors Anne Prenger and Tara Bailes grace the first squad with junior Anna DeLong on the second squad.  Obviously Catholic showed they were a legitimate contender, and their players got the consideration they deserved.  Other area selections were Patsy Middleton of Willard and Bolivar’s Jonna Welch on the third team.  Congratulations to these class 1 athletes on a fine year.
